If we don't get a Mondeo St will we get the twin turbo V6 version that th Americans are about to get? One Ford seems to be a little one sided when it comes to the larger performance models. Wheres our 2.7 twin turbo Edge or Ranger with a Mustang engine (Raptor?) or Mustang GT350 etc etc - we get a Dacia Sandero competitor (KA+)

I think we won't get it. And the reason for it is very simple. Europeans just don't buy cars with such. engines. Bigger SUV (and especially pick-up) market is almost exclusively diesel only in Europe. Same goes for Mondeo Sport. Count how many Insignias OPC (or VXR in UK) you've seen recently and then compare the number to (more expensive) BMW 335i/340i or Audi S4. People just don't like buying "normal" brands for this money, they want premium.
